Is this only available if you vote in the davidson co or will other counties be vehicles for the primary election?

@Andrew: It’s a statewide primary for people registered in either the Democratic or Republican parties. Independent/non-affiliated/third-party voters do not participate in Tennessee primary elections. The link to the Tenn. Dept. of State covers the details and links to each county.

@ Jae: Go to the website for the election commission in your county to find the voting location for your precinct. Your voter registration card will list your precinct. To vote on election day, you must go to your designated precinct location. Early voting occurs only at a few designated locations, but you can vote early at any of them, whichever is most convenient for you.
